Thanks to the surrounding Sierra de Bernia mountains, Calpe enjoys a microclimate that is milder than in the south: less humidity and fewer extreme heat waves. The coastline stretches for more than 13 kilometres, with wide sandy beaches and picturesque coves such as Cala del Racó, Cala Calalga and Cala Les Urques.
With its lively marina, wide sandy beaches and modern infrastructure, Calpe has long been a solid choice for those considering a second home or investment in Spain. The town combines authentic Mediterranean charm with a comfortable modern lifestyle, with everything you’re used to having at your fingertips all year round.
A city with a distinctive identity
Calpe has around 25,000 permanent residents and offers an international yet relaxed atmosphere. The town is built around the Peñón de Ifach, a 332-metre-high limestone rock that rises dramatically above the coast. This landmark is literally the symbol of the northern Costa Blanca and can be seen from many surrounding seaside towns.
At its base lie Calpe’s two main beaches: Playa Arenal-Bol and Playa de la Fossa, connected by a seafront promenade lined with shops, cafés, and restaurants. You’ll also find several charming places run by Belgians and Dutch residents.
Behind the coastline lies the historic centre, characterised by narrow streets, colourful facades, and cosy squares.
Calpe also has a modern urban area that offers everything for everyday comfort: large supermarkets, medical centres, schools, sports clubs, and a lively weekly market every Saturday.
Thanks to its location along the N-332 and the AP-7, the town is easily accessible from both Alicante and Valencia airports (approximately 1 hour from Alicante and 1 hour 15 minutes from Valencia).
Real estate in Calpe: quality and location as key elements
The property market in Calpe is characterised by stable growth and a clear focus on quality. Belgian and Dutch buyers have been investing here for many years, and that interest remains strong.
New developments typically consist of modern apartments with spacious terraces, communal pools, landscaped gardens, underground parking, and energy-efficient installations.
Many of these residences are within walking distance of the beach or offer stunning views of the sea and the Peñón. In the surrounding hills, you’ll also find detached villas, often with private pools, Mediterranean gardens, and panoramic views.
Popular residential areas include Maryvilla, La Canuta, Cometa-Carrió, and Empedrola — quiet urbanisations with a green outlook and a high-quality residential character.
According to our own experience and data from Spain’s National Statistics Institute (INE), Calpe’s average property prices are in the higher segment of the Alicante province. This reflects the quality of the homes, the excellent location, and the continued interest from international buyers.
Demand remains stable because Calpe is lively all year round and not dependent on mass tourism. This creates a healthy property market where value retention is a realistic advantage — one of the reasons why investing in Calpe is such a smart choice.
